I find it very disturbing that so many commenters are focusing on the 15 yr old’s willingness (as if that makes it somehow less terrible) and not the inappropriate and flat out abusive actions of the goddamn adult. Gross, man, gross.

Kids are willing to do a lot of risky and stupid shit. Adults know better. The adult in this story is an abuser and sexual predator, full stop.

“Fucking an old dude is suspect” but an old dude going around seeking out kids to fuck is fucking disgusting and rightfully illegal. Maybe focus on the perps behavior.

RAVEN!!! Yay!!

You know, your whole “look the other way”, “boys will be boys” excuse is bullshit enabling, right? Like, you let them violate ppl. You let them feel safe and justified in their behavior. You are one of them. Be better.

What you’ve done is acknowledge that the culture and system that has been allowed to fester needs to be burned to the fucking ground. I am familiar with what you described, not personally but from an ex marine. He was a piece of shit abuser (especially sexually) and the stories he told me about the marines…

I’ve been waiting for this article. Guh, why you gotta be that guy, Jamie? I used to love Citizen Radio. I was a long time listenner and part time ‘dirty hobo’ (low lvl monthly donator) but then something started to not feel right, he got real, well, douchey. Allison is amazing and handling this better than I would.…

Maybe the statement wasn’t meant to turn you on. Maybe it turns you off because it hits close to home. If so, that requires reflection. My experience as a woman (who also speaks openly with other women and men about sexual experiences) is that hetero men don’t often put the effort in to learn their partners. That’s a…

You don’t need to be drunk to be that animated. I’m like that sober.

Hahahahaha, oh my fucking god, okay buddy. I didn’t have a set opinion on “Locomotive Jones” before, but I do now.

Hahaha, in fact I have.

I figured as much.

Not really, but many of the dudes that post tend to show that they enjoy demeaning women as a means to feel like big and strong manly men. So strong, so manly, so much posturing. I wonder what that says about their intellect? Hmmmm.

Boys and girls learn this and those mentalities tend to blead into adulthood. I’m 30 and meet ppl my own age and younger that insist women are biologically less capable of logic, rationality, and interpreting their own experiences. It makes it easy to ignore womens autonomy which fucks women over in pretty much every…

Ya, I used to do the same thing. It was frustrating.

Oi, I grew up in Cali and not to burst your bubble, but those backwards, pig fucker (I say that because it’s happened in my town, several times), rednecks live in Cali too. I have some of them in my family . . . second cousins and such . . . but still. They’re ignorant, bigoted, and own a lot of guns. The type of ppl…

Did you select the email confirmation that was sent to the email address you gave? I forgot to do that the first time signed one of these petitions.

A little bit of San Jose.

This is an amazing story and wonderfully written. I hope the play goes national, I’d love to be able to see it.
